Sarah McLachlan: Motherhood Reinvigorated My Music Career

Sarah McLachlan's recent interview was punctuated by the charming chaos of motherhood, with her two-year-old daughter appearing pantless during the Zoom call. McLachlan, a mother of two, offered gentle wisdom, reflecting her own experiences with raising daughters through their teenage years, which inspired her latest album, 'Better Broken'.

This album, her first original music in 11 years, features her daughters' voices on the track 'One in a Long Line.' McLachlan initially believed 'Better Broken' would be her final record, partly due to the lengthy 11-year gap since her last release and her comfort as a homebody. However, collaborating with new producers reignited her passion for music creation.

McLachlan now feels invigorated and states she is "definitely not done" with her music career. She plans to explore new music and is embracing live performances, revisiting her extensive catalog.

She previously found a balance between her career and family life, touring with her daughters and a nanny. This allowed her to be present for her children without sacrificing her professional pursuits.
